    For what it's worth, I wrote a trivial change to the way movement is
    handled for IdMOO.  Instead of calling WHERE:accept(WHAT) as tradition
    dictates, the builtin calls #0:accept(WHAT, WHERE), and #0:accept is
    programmed to call WHERE:accept(WHAT) normally.  I'd propose that people
    interested in de-side-effecting builtins follow that course instead of
    making an all-or-nothing server option.
